Abstract:

This is an analysed corpus of Bhojpuri, an Indo-Aryan language, spoken mainly
in the districts of central Madhesh (Sarlahi-Rupandehi) in Nepal and the
adjacent Indian territories of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh with other provinces,
too. Bhojpuri has also spread worldwide due to global migration. This corpus
contains 13 texts that cover different genres of Bhojpuri, e.g., conversation,
folktale, monologue, language use in rural surroundings and process of some
agro-economic activities. Besides these, it covers examples of minimal pairs
and positional arrangements of Bhojpuri phonemes.

In this book, texts have been provided at word and clause levels with
descriptions of phonological, morpho-phonological, morphological and
morphosyntactic aspects of Bhojpuri. The word or sentence is first presented
in Devanagari alphabet. The text is transliterated in IPA (International
Phonetic Alphabet). The IPA presentation is broken into morphemes. The lexical
items of the morphemes are translated into English and the grammatical items
are presented with their functional terminology in abbreviated form according
to Leipzig glossing rules as far as practicable. At last, the free translation
of the word or sentence is presented below each item.

Therefore, the book might be useful at home and abroad.
